Update: 2021-09-04 12:47 GMT
The crisis situation in Afghanistan continues to prevail. The Taliban rulers who now enjoy control of the country made failed attempts to use the email accounts used by the officials and members of the previous government.

Seeing the multiple attempts made to open the email accounts, the tech giant Google had shocked the Taliban rulers by blocking the accounts of the government officials temporarily.

Earlier reports have highlighted that the Taliban rulers are on a mission to track down the details of those who have worked with the United States and the officials of the countries of various departments. The attempts to open these email accounts of the officials are said to be on the lines of their mission.

To trace their set targets, the Taliban troops are using the database like the email conversations and the employment details of the employees. The payroll details of the employees sent through the email are also being exploited by the troops reportedly.

As the officials of Google were informed by the tech team that the Taliban rulers are trying to crack the passwords of the email accounts, the tech giant has decided to block the email accounts of the former officials of the previous Afghanistan government.

The officials working in various departments of the Afghanistan government have used the Gmail accounts. As a bid to know the details of the officials, the Taliban troops in the country are trying to open the email accounts.

The News Agency Reuters had quoted a few experts working in the IT Sector as saying that the information the Taliban troops are trying to crack will be huge and once it's cracked they can lay their hands on the valuable information on the details and the people who have worked with the US troops and officials.

The previous government was backed by the United States. As the governments of both countries have worked together, the email accounts used by the officials in the government departments are said to have possessed crucial information. Seeing this, Google had blocked the accounts temporarily as of now. The move is to safeguard the crucial information.
